Fuck ME, you're using jalapenos on something you plan to smoke?? I suggest not doing that.Man these evil little spider mite devils are killing my maple leaf crop... Help me please? Ive used organacide/natria/jalepeno water.
I've got a feeling we could use the term "tenting" and it wouldn't be in the fun way.How bad is your infestation?
My friend the master grower recommended to me this - go down to Target or any cheap store and buy the cheapest no name brand GREEN mouth wash, mix it approx. 50/50 with water and spray those fuckers. Try maybe 40% mouth wash to 60% water and go to 50/50 if need be. According to my friend the green mouth wash has several ingredients that kill spider mites including alcohol, why buy rubbing alcohol when you can use mouth wash.
Why use mouthwash when you can use rubbing alcohol and *know* that absolutely nothing remains once it evaporates? :oMy friend the master grower recommended to me this - go down to Target or any cheap store and buy the cheapest no name brand GREEN mouth wash, mix it approx. 50/50 with water and spray those fuckers.

you can buy the Mite-T-Vac at the Redway Feed and Garden Supply in Redway California
Jalapeno spray actually isn't bad for the plants, or any plant. It won't kill mites though, not strong enough. I made habanero spray that DID work. I used a pound of blended habaneros per 1 gallon of water. I used my blender, I took off only the green stem from the habaneros and put them into the blender whole. I added just a little bit of water so they would blend up real fine. After blending the peppers I added a gallon of water to the mix and put it into the fridge. Don't leave it out, it has to go into the refrigerator. It takes 40-48 habaneros to make a pound, on average. Cost me 7 bucks per pound ( per gallon of mix) My next step is to companion grow. I'm waiting on habanero seeds to be delivered so I can grow 1 plant per 6 feet of grow space.Fuck ME, you're using jalapenos on something you plan to smoke?? I suggest not doing that.
What I do suggest is to go with a combination approach, and it's going to become your new religion. JMS Stylet oil applied every three days smothers them (but not the eggs, and no mites that haven't been hit). A 1:1 mix of water:isopropyl alcohol, again applied every three days. Rosemary oil mixed to 2% (you'll need an emulsifier) applied every three days.
